Phosphor Dot Fossils: Caverns of Mars (Atari 400/800/1200XL, 1981)

Descend into the Caverns of Mars. Destroy the Caverns of Mars. Just remember your way out so you can escape the Caverns of Mars. The latest addition to Phosphor Dot Fossils is Caverns of Mars.
Phosphor Dot Fossils ( www.thelogbook.media/phosphor/​ ) is one of the web's oldest archives of vintage console, computer, and arcade games; there was also a 2-DVD documentary of the same name, covering the early history of video games, produced in 2008 and 2009 (now available for download at www.thelogbook.com/store/​ ). And these days? PDF aims to bring a more laid-back, less-caffeinated, less-profanity-spewing experience to the retro video game longplay video.

This was inspired by SCRAMBLE I think. You have to shoot the red ships at the second stage as they carry fuel. ☝️

It is kind of sideways Scramble, isn't it?
